I came to think of that we only give out a small excerpt of our background in the intro section, and after that we just do random stuff. And thats generally as far as we get. Its always cool and all to talk about who you are when you first joined X-Evo, but i almost feel like we're sorta unaware of each others the way we interact on the forums in cultural terms.
Indeed we live in an international environment today and since i feel very cultural and open today, i suggest we could share some of our origin and a little more and then we discuss the different views and sides. Confess your love to your favorite events or traditions taking place anywhere on this planet, or your skepticism (keep it neutral or at least mature/straightforward). Post anything that comes to mind. Im not trying to make way for forced personal bonds with each others here (lmao), i mean thats really up to you whether you wanna embrace each others or just chuck in a few cents for the hell of it.
I just think its exciting um, interesting to learn about each others cultures, hence the name of this thread. If youre too shy, well then at least join the lot soon! We might even clear up stereotypes and other related issues hanging over YOU as a member of your own people. I believe in unity regardless of yaddayadda you know
Alright well ill start.
Not sure if anyone knew this from before, but im actually of Pakistani descent. Full blooded even. And its a dead giveaway that im also a Muslim (though 5-10 % are Christians, Hindus and Sikhs). If this is the first time youve seen a Pakistani Digimon fan then salute back and feel free to say whatever ye want cuz i dont get offended. And of course, who doesnt like Japan here? ;] Im always interested in observing cultural relations and interactions between the two countries since it leaves both parts a permanent impression of one as an individual from a whole another place despite we're all Asians. My family tree consists of Chinese and half-Chinese relatives where most of them live in Hong Kong, Pakistan and one of them currently in Tokyo.
And no, i dont hate Americans or any other Westerners you sillies. Its always political when hatred is fueled, and note we should never let that come in our way as individuals. And i honestly think many Americans are bright and welcoming (lets scratch the infamous dumbass label), though some of their problems might lie in their educational system. Still millions of them who have to go through some of the defects manage to kickstart off to universities and becoming the backbone of the nation. Some Americans may appear or act arrogant/racist, but some notion of arrogance and racism is found in every third of us all anyway so why complain. Its in the human consciousness depending on where you are positioned. I also like Brits, Bruneians, Indonesians, Malaysians and even Canucks just to mention few. And i get down with Afghans and Indians as well.
Now that we got that outta the way, some people ask me about customs from my culture. They also find it weird that i dont drink like they do, and all i can do is smile since the world is crashing together so intimately these days that you quickly forget that we're metaphorically like aliens trying to adapt to each others mindset. Only thing in common is that we are actually humans. Funny imo and its what makes it exciting.
Heh im typing like crazy again. Sorry. Well, whats YOUR story??
